Climate change is occurring at an unprecedented rate and has begun to modify the
distribution and phenology of organisms worldwide. Chelonians are expected to be …

The rate of climate change experienced globally in recent decades may compromise sea
turtles' survival; especially temperature increase, which is particularly fast, impacts life …

Quantifying sublethal effects of plastics ingestion on marine wildlife is difficult, but key to
understanding the ontogeny and population dynamics of affected species. We developed a …

Elusive aquatic wildlife, such as endangered sea turtles, are difficult to monitor and
conserve. As novel molecular and genetic technologies develop, it is possible to adapt and …

Environmental conditions experienced by animals constrain their energy acquisition and its
subsequent allocation to growth and reproduction, which ultimately contributes to population …

Body size shifts in ectotherms are mostly attributed to the Temperature Size Rule (TSR)
stating that warming speeds up initial growth rate but leads to smaller size when food does …

Just as organisms do not passively exist in their environment, develo** sea turtle embryos
affect their own incubation microclimate by producing metabolic heat and other waste …

In sea turtles, somatic growth rates and Age at Sexual Maturity (ASM) are important
parameters for investigating population dynamics. Moreover, ASM informs on the time lag …

Increased temperatures caused by anthropogenic climate change are becoming a major
challenge for species. In particular, species that migrate over long distances are affected by …

Survival in the early life stages is a major factor determining the growth and stability of
wildlife populations. For sea turtles, nest location must provide favorable conditions to …
